  • Patent number: 4161792
    Abstract: Disclosed is a portable waste disposal system that is designed primarily for use in marine craft, mobile homes, campers or the like. The system comprises a macerator unit for converting excrement to a liquified effluent, and an incinerator unit for incinerating the effluent. The macerator unit comprises a holding tank which receives the waste material from a toilet. When the level of the excrement within the holding tank reaches a predetermined level, and maintains that level for a predetermined period of time, the system is activated and the excrement from the holding tank is macerated by a macerator and provided to a feed compartment. A circulation pump then pumps the macerated effluent from the feed compartment through a circulation line to the incineration unit.

  • Patent number: 3958383
    Abstract: A glazing system for window panes and other panels utilizes separate but generally similar L-sectioned elastomeric stops on each side of the pane. The stops are fitted into a double-grooved supporting frame or reglet structure having an outer groove surrounding the pane and which opens outwardly in a direction perpendicular to the pane, and having an inner groove opening in a direction inwardly of but parallel to the pane and spaced rearwardly from the plane of the pane. The outer stop has one leg retained in the outer groove and its other leg projecting parallel to and overlying and bearing inwardly against the pane. The inner stop has one leg retained in the inner groove and its other leg projecting perpendicular to the pane, with the end of such last-mentioned leg butting against the pane. In another embodiment of the invention the inner stop is of a modified U-section, having a glass holding leg and a retaining leg, said legs being parallel to each other.
